Customer Question

I've been seeing a cardiologist for high blood pressure for one year know. He hasn't changed my medication which I've been on the same ones for over five years. He has scheduled the typical tests and blood work. I'm concerned that my blood pressure is still high, no change, and my glucose has been extremely high. He never warned me last year when the blood work was done. Now this batch showed it was high also. I've gone a year with high glucose. He wants to do a right heart catheridization but wants to wait until October after another echogram to be done. I feel like I'm not important all along a stroke or worse is waiting for me. Time to find another doctor, right??
